Phil Keaggy – Portrait lyrics

Not only in the words you say,
Not only in your deeds confessed.
But in the most unconscious way
Is Christ expressed.

Is it a beatific smile?
A holy light upon your brow?
Oh no, I felt His presence when
You laughed just now.

To me t'was not the truth you taught,
To you so clear, to me so dim.
But when you came to me
You brought a sense of Him.

And from your eyes He beckons me,
And from your lips His love is shed.
Til I lose sight of you and see
The Christ instead.

Is it a beatific smile?
A holy light upon your brow?
Oh no, I felt His presence when
You laughed just now.
I felt His presence when
You laughed just now.
I felt His presence when
You laughed just now.
